Climate change is fundamentally a social issue before being an environmental one because its impacts disproportionately affect the most vulnerable populations. Communities in developing nations, of...

Clean cooking is essential for enhancing global food security by tackling both health and environmental issues that affect food systems. Traditional cooking methods, which often depend on burning w...

Clean cooking plays a crucial role in global food security by addressing both health and environmental challenges that directly impact food production and consumption. Traditional cooking methods, ...

Climate change has caused global temperatures to rise by 1.5℃, largely due to the increased emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning fossil fuels like gasoline, LPG, and natural gas. While CO2...

In most developing countries, cooking still remains a woman’s responsibility. Women are often in charge of both cooking for their families and collecting the fuel needed for that. This makes women ...

Energy poverty can be seen as both a cause and a consequence of economic poverty. A low income cannot afford a modern way of cooking and leads to heavy reliance on inefficient cookstoves fueled by ...

The daily exposure to the smoke from an often ill-controlled combustion causes many people – especially women- to inhale a number of toxic components, which can cause (and often do) a range of chro...

While the use of modern cookstoves in the developed world is today considered a mere banality, nearly half the world’s population sill cook today the same way it has been done for thousands of year...

Energy poverty is defined as the lack of access of households in developing countries to modern energy sources,and their consequent reliance on solid biomass fuels for cooking. So-called “Improved ...

Indoor Air PollutionTraditional cooking methods, such as using open fires or stoves that burn solid fuels like wood, coal, or charcoal, release a cocktail of harmful pollutants into the air. These ...

Policy and RegulationGovernments play a crucial role in implementing policies and regulations to reduce air pollution. This includes setting stricter emission standards for vehicles and industries,...

Clean cooking energy for communities focuses on providing sustainable, environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional cooking methods, which often rely on wood, charcoal, or kerosene. Some op...

Adopting clean cookstoves brings about substantial financial and temporal benefits to households, particularly in developing countries where traditional cooking methods consume significant resource...

The term “clean cooking” refers to the eco-friendly ways to prepare meals, moving away from traditional methods that rely on wood, charcoal, or natural gas.Cut down on the harmful smoke, carbon dio...

At the core of this is a fundamental feature of carbon markets: the science, norms and practices that define how the market works change and improve over time. At Gold Standard we last updated our ...

It’s also hard to quantify. A wide range of parameters including fuel use, stove efficiency, cooking time, seasonal, spatial, technique and demographic variations all factor into the amount of emis...

Domestic cooking is largely considered outside the productive economy, making it very difficult to subsidise or regulate, and therefore difficult to reach. This is also why projects are very likely...

Estimating the Non-Renewable Biomass Fraction (fNRB) is pivotal yet challenging for cookstove and biodigester carbon projects. Accurate fNRB calculations prevent over-crediting risks, particularly ...

Carbon credits symbolize a one-tonne greenhouse gas emission reduction elsewhere, tradeable until "retired," ensuring exclusivity of claimed reductions. Contrary to misconceptions:1.Not a Pollution...

Bathed in the gentle embrace of winter's golden rays, we welcome the enchanting season of Christmas—a time steeped in goodwill and merriment. This sacred occasion, a beacon of togetherness, prompts...
